I can't wait to play through the story mode again at 60fps. I'm happy about 1080p and all the other extras, too, of course....but 60fps, hnnnnngh. That's the main reason I'm buying this.

You dun fucked this guy up lol.

Ah well, watching until it's taken down

Haha I just saw his spectator count go from 17 to 300+ in like 5 min.

Uncharted 4 runs on The Last of Us' engine.

Source and Source 2 run on "the same" ID Tech 3 engine.

So does every iterative COD game.

Differences in engine iterations can be as great or little as needed depending how much money and time is allocated to retooling them.

ND's engine did have a lot of advanced feature sets as is on PS3, but it was heavily coded to match the Cell/RSX strengths. A lot of that would have to be re-written and optimized for X86. That said their coders probably already have a good grasp of parallelization and utilizing multicore processing where a lot of devs still have been dragging their feet. It's part of the reason they squeezed so much out of the PS3.

They said in the chat that you tweeted it :/

 

[xAniki88]

wow looks soooo good

 

[shinobi602]

Actually can't even tell shit from all the compression. I'll just wait until next week.

They said in the chat that you tweeted it :/

Yea, tons of people did. I wasn't serious anyway lol.

Poor guy

 

[Citizen_Insane]

It looks great, no idea why so many people seem to be upset. Were they expecting it to look like Second Son and Uncharted 4 or something? It's still a PS3 game, and a damn good looking one that runs at 1080p/60fps now. Cannot wait to experience this again.

new slimy blood tech confirmed

 

[BruiserBear]

The stream will only be taken down if Sony demands it, right? Hasn't Sony been really lax about such things in the past?

The biggest thing I want to see is whether or not your partner AI are any less dumb about running in front of you.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

I'm sure it'll be great but all the same I can understand the spectrum of expectations here. What is the gold standard reference for gaming remasters? Whats the baseline reference? We've seen direct ports and upscaled versions (wasn't the God of War collection on PS3 this way?), we've seen cross-gen titles with modified features in both versions (Tomb Raider 2013), we've seen Anniversary treatment in the Halo games where the audio and video elements are broadly upgraded across the board with some feature tweaks and additions, and now we have the latest in The Last of Us Remastered.

Of course people are going to have differing expectations - there's been a decent amount of variety in how these things have been approached.

Understandable. Well for those who have actually been following the information we've been getting about the remaster I assume there is some sort of a range of reference. Mostly derivative from the word Remaster.

 

[fluffydelusions]

Yeah that stream looks/runs noticeably better even at that quality you can tell

Wow, quality of stream is shite obviously, but 29th can't come soon enough.

 

[R3TRODYCE]

I forgot how good the shooting felt in this game to me.

I think some people were genuinely expecting this, yes.

 

[Gbraga]

I don't remember the blood on his face being like that on PS3, is it my memory?

 

[Coulomb_Barrier]

The guy says he's playing it on a Plasma TV btw.

 

[CambriaRising]

He needs to turn his sound down, its echoing through the mic really bad.

 

[Takamura-San]

Tempted to go to walmart.

lmao yeah, those are some ridiculous expectations.

 

[fluffydelusions]

I don't remember that either

 

[driver116]

Looks like a polished version of the PS3 build.

 

[JPeeples83]

Hardcore Gamer made a comparison to the PS4 screenshots with their own PS3 images.

"No frame drops"

There ya go

 

[miDnIghtEr20C]

Good show Jgdogg!

 

[shinobi602]

He's saying he hasn't experienced any frame drops. Good stuff.

 

[BruiserBear]

Live at Playstation failing like a motherfucker. I'm on my PS4 and this guy's stream isn't anywhere to be found, even though it should clearly be the first thing that shows up. :/

The guy says he's playing it on a Plasma TV btw.

Why would that be worth mentioning?

"No frame drops"

There ya go

Someone should Tweet Digital Foundry. No need for their framerate analysis now.

 

[Shock_Wave]

Really? I noticed the improved IQ, higher detailed textures, and better shadow quality instantly. The textures and IQ especially. Everything looks way more crisp and detailed.

Sure, being a Remastered game better textures,shadows,etc would be expected.

The discussion should be on how much this version is improved compared to the PS3 version.
And only in terms of graphics the improvement doens't justified a new version of the game.
But as many people said seeing the game running in 60FPS would be the right moment to assess the game as a whole.

 

[giancarlo123x]

Yep, this is definitely a port of a PS3 game.

What gave it away?

 

[GameAddict411]

Apart from the IQ I don't see much of a difference, the assets are still the same with better filtering.



I can't help but think ND was hiding the game on purpose, they knew that average Joe will find little to no difference from seeing the game on YouTube or any online streaming website.


Might get it when its $10, its really overpriced as it is, especially since I played it extensively on the PS3(Platinumed it).

I might actually play the MP on the PS4 version - never got around to it on the PS3 despite adoring the campaign to no end. Youtube beats footage half to death with their encoding, so it's a shame the improvements wouldn't be visible and folks would just judge it based in a Youtube clip.

I envy your eyes if you were able to catch that from a PS4 Stream....

 

[R3TRODYCE]

For some reason my excitement to play this again just went up a lot.

 

[benny_a]

Well there are also a few screengrabs in the OP.

Looks like the Last of Us...

I was so concerned. Imagine if it looked like Bioshock Infinite.

 

[hohoXD123]

This guy has told everyone the walmart story like 5 times already.

 

[Matush]

Lol, Walmart fkin up again.

 

[Bornstellar]

Looks like the Last of Us...

 

[orioto]

I think it would benefit everyone to actually take time and think about remaster means, and how it's not a remake. Did the PS2 games redone for PS3 had new engine, lighting, textures, models.. ? They were called remasters.

 

[GribbleGrunger]

Someone gif these two. It should shut people up:

HUGE difference

 

[Kura]

Well, it seems like some people still doesnt know the difference between 'Remaster' and 'Remake'.

Hope they'll do from now on.

 

[RandyBobandy]

Watching that stream is making me want to play the game again

 

[Takamura-San]

Called my Walmart and they have it for sale.

Hopefully they didn't mistake it for ps3 :/

HUGE difference[/QUOTE]

The contrast difference makes it an uneven comparison, but 1080p obviously makes for a huge clarity boost.

 

[Dictator93]

These are the pics posted on the official blog. Are we perhaps judging a game on low quality pictures?

These are 100% bullshots.

 

[benny_a]

lol

New thread for new news!

 

[Bunta]

lol

That guy is surely legit!

 

[bananafactory]

Obviously can't tell much about the IQ from a stream, but even with the crappy quality I can instantly notice the better textures and character models.
